Know Your Bike

Ever heard of Gottlieb Daimler and Wilhelm Maybach? Well, what these people did some 200 years back has changed our lives greatly... What they invented, for a few is a passion, for some the extension of themselves, others a convenience, a necessity... the list is endless. Oh yeah, we are talking about the motorcycle.

Are you Mr. Inquisitive? The one who runs around to know the latest technology in the market? Or are you a newbie with little or no knowledge of the engineering behind it? Whatever it is, as long as you have a passion for bikes, it doesn’t matter. We’ve got something for everyone.

Come January, it is time to pull the wraps off your two-wheeled monstrosity and delve deeper into the mechanical jigsaw. What is more is that you will be able to get you hands on it and rip it apart and assemble it.

If you’re interested, grab your hard hat, your riding gear and it is time to go whroom, whrooooom....!!!
